========================================

1) My default seting is "show line numbers".

2) I have a text file which has 256001 lines.

3) When I open it with nedit, the line numbers at the
end of file was odd--it looks as if they are truncated.

4) However, if I go to the preference and turn off the
line number and then turn on it again, everything
baecomes correctly.

(Status change assuming it to be a regression from my line
number change.)

very disappointed in the very low priority. Showing line number is a very basic
function , and it doesn't work. It's hard to think the fix is not urgent.

9 is not a low priority.

Any change to the text causes the line number area updated.

Don't know if this would be helpful for the fix.

I've just checked in a fix for this, affecting file.c. Could
you please try it?

There is a minimum number of columns for the line number
gutter, set to 4 (MIN_LINE_NUM_COLS) in nedit.h. This is the
width that is applied to a new window before reading the
file it will contain. Once the file was read into the
buffer, the width was not being recalculated.

We might consider changing MIN_LINE_NUM_COLS to something
smaller (I would recommend 2).

The fix works fine.

Thanks a lot, ajbj.
